Call for Project Proposals / Migration

The Embassy of Switzerland is pleased to announce this year’s call for project proposals in the field of migration.

In the coming months, the Embassy will support 2-3 small projects with the aim to support the integration of refugees and migrants in Turkey. In accordance with the priorities of its engagement, the Embassy is particularly interested in projects with regards to the integration of refugee and migrant children and their parents into the host community. Projects that contribute to social cohesion and peaceful coexistence are of particular interest. The projects should aim for a long-term transformative impact. Furthermore, priority will be given to local associations and local NGOs that possess in-depth knowledge of Turkish society and its interrelation with migrants and refugees.

All projects regarding human rights are excluded from this call. A separate, specific call has been launched by the Embassy of Switzerland on the 11th February 2019.
